Love love LOVE this series, but admittedly have not completed many games within it. Gaiden is honestly exactly the right length, able to spin an 8-10 hour Kiryu yarn and not get bogged down with the usual yakuza politicking.
Secret agent Kiryu may well be his final form; the new fighting style is & agile while allowing for 3 very cool super spy abilities - a watch that can draw things towards you or be used as a rappel, shoes that have, um, rocket fuel - and lastly an exploding cigarette. Ttruly magnificent. All this, on top of extra unlockable moves and upgrades, make it fairly hard to go back to Kiryu’s older, classic brawler Yakuza style.
